“We have discovered a previously unknown pagan cult that connected different regions of Central Europe in the early Middle Ages, before the arrival of Christianity,” said archaeologist Jiří Maciaczek of Masaryk University. I realized that it was happening,” he said. Said In a statement.
What most archaeologists and historians refer to as “pagans” are actually the peoples who ruled Europe before the influx of Christians and subsequent possession by the Catholic Church.

What you see on this belt buckle is no different from what is seen on the Welsh flag, which survives to this day. It's a dragon. And I wouldn't be surprised if the Welsh once ruled all of Europe. Our language survives scattered across the continent, so perhaps this is just one of the last parts of our empire?
